SSQ has operated in the Middle East market for a number of years and has built up a track record of partner and associate placements, team moves and office launches, having worked with clients across the GCC in countries including the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. This launch cements SSQ’s commitment to the region and enhances the market intelligence, local knowledge and language skills which the business is able to offer its clients and candidates.

Senior Manager Matthew Bold will be responsible for SSQ’s Dubai office. He has over eight years’ experience of legal search and recruitment in the Middle East. The SSQ Middle East team comprises an additional four legal search professionals.

Speaking about the office opening, Chief Executive Nick Shilton said:

“Opening an office in Dubai is the next logical step for SSQ following the successful track record we have built across the Middle East. It is a unique market and now we are able to offer our clients direct access to consultants on the ground on a daily basis to help them to achieve their recruitment goals.”
